Prestwich Festival Farmers’ Market is great success
The Prestwich Festival rolls on, with another major event today - the Prestwich Farmers’ Market, which took place at the Longfield Shopping Area this morning and early afternoon. The photo above is of me there with my colleagues Cllr Ann Garner from Sedgley ward and Cllr Tim Pickstone from Holyrood ward.
The weather was much kinder this weekend than the Clough Day last weekend, and I have to say that the whole event was a great success.
There were hundreds of local people out taking advantage of the dozens of shops selling local and organic produce. I picked up some ostrich meat to have for tea later, as well as a lovely looking curry for tomorrow and a raspberry tart which I have just devoured!
Once again the Mayor of Bury was at the event to give it the official seal of approval, but it really was lovely to see so many people out enjoying themselves as part of the community. The musicians and entertainers meant that it was fun for all the family too.
The Festival has been incredibly well supported so far, and expertly organised. There’s still plenty of events happening between now and the end of the Festival which is Prestwich Carnival weekend 21st June. But today is all about the Farmers’ Market, which was a runaway success. The organisers and everyone who took part really do deserve a big pat on the back.

have your say
Hi richard, whats the political makeup of bury south in terms of councillors per party?
thanks, ronney
Hi,
It’s
Conservatives: 9
Labour: 8
Lib Dem: 9
With one vacancy, in Radcliffe West where there’s a by-election on June 4th. Labour are defending it after one of their Councillors stood down.

Thanks richard, that’s interesting. I thought it was that but according to an addressed lib dem flyer received by me, it’s Lib dem 9, lab 8, tory 7.
whats that about? bit misleading isn’t it?
Well, either the flyer is wrong or I am.
I don’t know exactly what flyer it is you’ve been sent, or exactly what it says on it. I assume it’s a graph, so that might need careful reading.
I’m sure the intention wasn’t to mislead. It’s either right (and we’re both confused), or it’s wrong because of a mistake somewhere. Let me know what it says.
